Fourteen completed public housing townhouses in Cannington have been sitting vacant for approximately a year, falling into disrepair with overgrown weeds and reports of squatters. This $6.6 million development remains empty while over 20,000 people wait for housing, despite the government spending $4.7 billion on public housing this financial year. An out-of-control car flew through the air and crashed into a High Wycombe home, leaving an elderly resident shaken but unhurt despite devastating damage to her property. The shocking crash was caught on camera. The 22-year-old driver has since been arrested and charged after allegedly trying to flee the scene. A rescue unfolded in North Fremantle after a car launched through a fence and flipped upside down near train tracks, trapping a 65-year-old driver. Local workers rushed to smash the vehicle's window and free the man before the chaotic crash forced an emergency rail shutdown ahead of peak hour.
